New York Ends T-Mobile Low-Income Data Caps
Following an investigation by the state's attorney general, T-Mobile must drop data caps and expand availability for its low-income home internet plans.
New York's attorney general found that T-Mobile violated the state's Affordable Broadband Act by placing monthly data caps and slowing down speeds on low-cost internet plans after customers used 50GB of data. The company also restricted plan availability to areas with 5G wireless and prevented search engines from indexing plan details. Under an agreement with the state, T-Mobile will remove the data caps, make the broadband plans available everywhere it offers home internet in the state, and allow search engines to display plan information.
